Well I have made a start on the destashing for 2013. This also helps out with a couple of goals that I have this year. A better organised household and reducing the stash. I didn't have a good year destashing last year. I hardly made any thing. But the upside is that hardly anything was added to the stash.

The first thing I have made this year is this over the door purse holder. I used up almost 2 metres of fabric just leaving a fat quater and some scraps.

As you saw in my last post that I made a doll with a top hat. I loved the hat so much that I decided that little hats all over my Christmas tree would look great. So I made some more hats. Everything used to make these hats comes from the stash.

Having seen lots of pics on the internet of ombre cakes, I decided that I wanted to have one for my birthday cake. Icing the cake took longer than I thought but the results are so worth it. I used 3 packets of vanilla cake mix.
